This initiative, valued at 357,544 euros, seeks to address a long-standing issue in the island's water administration: the significant loss of water due to undetected faults. Modernizing this system is vital for the sustainability of water resources in Fuerteventura.

The contract, initially for two years with an estimated value of 238,336 euros, includes the possibility of a one-year extension, bringing the total amount to 357,544 euros, excluding indirect taxes (IGIC). This was detailed by Lola García, president of the Cabildo de Fuerteventura.

The tender will follow an open procedure to attract specialized companies capable of offering innovative and efficient solutions. In addition to network monitoring and auscultation, the service will involve continuous coordination with CAAF technical staff, incident reporting, and the detection of fraud or deficiencies.

Fuerteventura's water supply network is extensive and complex, spanning over 1,600 kilometers with heterogeneous characteristics in terms of materials and diameters. Therefore, highly qualified technical teams and appropriate material resources are required to ensure an effective response, as confirmed by Adargoma Hernández, insular water councilor.

The awarded company will be responsible for developing a systematic inspection and control program, with particular focus on areas showing deviations in average flows, enabling early and effective action against potential leaks.
